The purpose of this study was to find out how to reduce the learning stress that can occur in English learning for foreign students in a Korean university. By the use of the effect of music on human psychotherapy, singing a pop song was used in EFL class and salivary cortisol concentration was analyzed. Twenty foreign students (ten from the control group and ten from the experimental group) at Inje University participated in this experiment. In a naturalistic before-after design, samples of saliva was collected. The average Cortisol concentration of the control group increased from 4.709ng/ml to 5.178 ng/m ( p=0.8203) while the average cortisol concentration of the experimental group decreased significantly from 6.151ng/ml to 4.627ng/ml post (p=0.0156). These results suggest that singing a pop song has positive influences on reducing EFL learning stress.
